Are you a Conservative?



Anyone who watched the series Blood, Sweat and T-Shirts will know that this happens with expensive designer labels too, not just cheap high street clothes. They'd also know that shops like Primark that stop doing business with sweat shops end up adding to the poverty of countries like India because jobs are lost.

Vicious circle but it isn't easily solved, so unfortunately I'm feeling more tempted to say that it would be better for Primark to have continued business with the place than cut ties completely.
